Today I went in for my "final impressions" which is what you see in this image (crappy quality because I used a cellphone to shoot it.)

• The blue thing at lower left is the final upper impression.  It will be used to mold the fit of the upper denture.
   
• The blue thing at lower right is the final lower impression that will be used to mold the fit of the lower denture. Eventually I will probably need one more lower impression to reline the lower denture once my gums have healed and receded.
   
• The white thing in the center is an amalgum impression of my temporary upper denture. This will be used to shape the teeth in the new denture so they will look and feel consistent with what I have right now.
   
• That pink and yellow monstrosity at the top is a wax model.  The pink part is wax, I don't know what the yellow part is made from.  The whole wax part of this model had to be in my mouth at once!  Not pleasant.  The dentist has carved out some teeth on the upper part for reference.  He will use this to make sure the bite of the new dentures matches my current bite, and to make sure everything fits.

The dentures will be ready in about 4 weeks, and then I will have the surgery to remove the teeth.

And then I will be officially toothless.
